Neuromuscular ultrasound in the evaluation of inclusion body myositis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case report illustrates the role of using neuromuscular ultrasound to diagnose inclusion body myositis (IBM) in a patient who was previously diagnosed with polymyositis. Emerging studies have demonstrated the accuracy of MRI in detecting the selective involvement of the flexor digitorum profundus muscle in those with IBM. However, there have been only few reports on the use of ultrasound in diagnosing this condition. Our case demonstrates the benefit of using this ultrasonographic approach, which is simple, clear, inexpensive, painless and radiation-free, and provides another modality to assist in the evaluation of this sometimes difficult to diagnose condition.
